Ron Harrod Jr. reported that Brandon Williams was away from the team due to personal matters. That’s why he was at the DFW airport on Saturday evening. After his arrest on Saturday, Brandon Williams was listed as questionable to play on Sunday vs. the Raptors. It’s unknown if Williams will be available on Wednesday vs. the Pacers.
In 2025-26, Brandon Williams has played in two of the Mavericks’ four games. He’s played 19 minutes this season and has yet to score one point. While Kyrie Irving misses time to start the season, Dallas was hoping Brandon Williams could contribute more off the bench. However, the 25-year-old could find himself in some off-court issues. Will that affect Williams’ playing time for the Mavericks moving forward?
